After several consultations in the Chicago area, I decided to go with Dr.Shifrin, to give me some of my curves back my girls took from me, I will be having lipo of my stomach, flanks, and full back, with fat transfered to the hips and some to my butt, I am a realistic person Im not expecting to look like my daughters and their youthfulness but, I am expecting some improvements to my body type, Im 4"11, 165 lbs, muscular build, but my set back is I am type 2 diabetic although I do not have any problems with healing at all (usually comes with type 2) I'm trying my best to keep my numbers down I'm scheduled for June 16th, I had a tt in 2004 with another Dr. which is still pretty much holding up despite my weight gain of 30 lbs since then, I will update as much as possible and I will dare to post my pre op pics, please bare with the many rolls.

Thanks for sharing your story. I have the same back as yours. I have consulted with 2 other doctors in IL Dr. Jack Gelman & Roman Voytestkhovskiy. I liked both doctors and they both understood what I want. But I want to meet with Dr. David Shifrin before I make my finally decision, but I am going to wait until I get my goal weight. I want to lose 25 more pounds first. Good Luck on your journey!

Hello! I am in the Chi-town area as welland I'm also contemplating Dr. Shifrin for surgery, I'm looking to have a tummy tuck, lipo, and a slight bbl. What all are you getting for $9000? What's the maximum amount of liters he'll remove? Thanks in advance

I'm having a Brazilian Butt Lift, he will lipo my stomach, flanks, and full back, it would have been 9500 but mentioned RealSelf and git 500.00 off my surgery date is 6/16 he does great tummy tucks too. I believe the board max is 5000 cc's of fat which is 5 liters I think
